I get that, but earlier you said you were gonna do m3 springs, I was wondering about that.

Not sure if this applies to m42s, but when you do a timing chain, normally you change the timing gears too as they get eaten away. Hope it works out for ya!

Oh yeah, I'm going to end up saving up for an actual kit, not sure which one though, maybe vogtlands with kyb's or H&R sports with bilsteins. And I think you only replace the gears when they wear out, when they become sharp.

If you're going to do the chain you might as well do everything. It is probably all worn if they haven't been replaced yet. It ends up being a lot of money for everything it sucks. I did mine a year ago when I was your age and was broke for quite awhile...

+Stance

Yeah that is what i'm going to do. I'm going to replace the tensioner right now, If I see a severe amount of wear in the sprockets I will replace those aswell as the guides. I have grown fond of the 4 cylinder and I love how rev happy it is. One of the only 4 cylinders(along with the s14) that don't make an awful lot of dreadful noise.

I know, I will lower it I just really need to get this car running like a top. The tint doesn't actually look to bad. I like the red lip, Probably going to pick up IS skirts when I take care of everything else. And what do you mean about freshening up my wheels? They are like new lol.

I actually wouldn't know what to go with a black or keep it red lip. It's a tough decision, some cars it looks tits, others, well not so much. But it would match your black side skirts. Well I mean polish them man, they look dirty as fakk! Clean them nicely so they shine again!

I actually got rid of the black on one side I'm just to lazy to finish the other side.

Lol, lazy ass. Finish it, throw on a red mtech 2 kit and that would complete it. Well and a drop. But that's it!

I wish I could afford an mtech2. I'm looking for a RD kit, or a Schnitzer one.

Right? Well just keep an eye out, either way, those will look tight on it though!

its easy to make an e30 look good with money. when you're young and have none it is a difficult task.

I have a job, it's just a college degree I lack which stops me from making the amount of money I need for cool stuff.
Update: Well I replaced the tensioner today, I started the car up and held it at 3,000rpm for 20 seconds and immediately the car quited down, so next weekend I will take off the oil pan and check for loose bolts. I was driving the car home today without the radio on(just to see if any unwanted sounds were coming up). At a red light I stopped and I immediately thought the car was off, that is how much the car quited down. And there isn't as much vibration either!
